Getting Started With Basic Techniques
Use a piece of scrap cardboard to practice these
basic spraying techniques before you begin spray-
ing the surface.
Hold gun 12 in. (30 cm) from surface and aim
straight at surface. Tilting gun to direct spray
angle causes an uneven finish.
Flex wrist to keep gun pointed straight. Fanning
gun to direct spray at angle causes uneven fin-
ish.
Triggering Gun
Pull trigger after starting stroke. Release trigger
before end of stroke. Gun must be moving when
trigger is pulled and released.

Aim tip of gun at bottom edge of previous stroke,
overlapping each stroke by half.
